BUSINESS BOoMING.

New York, in spite of the vigorous
competition of other ambitious cities,
remains the business center of the
country. 1t is the Mecca toward which
every merchant doing business on a
large scale makes an annual pilgrimage,
and from New York just now come
reports of the most cheering character,
viewed from commercial standpoint.
1t is said that not only has the fall
business opened up good deal earlier.

orders and readiness in paying cash,
that has not been equalIed for years.
There is but one inference, business all
over the country has been more pros
porous, confidence more general and
renewed enterprise more vigorous. The
prospects for the future are even
brighter and the merchants are prepar-
ing to reap the harvest they see in store
for them.

An Improbable Yarn About the

New YORK, Sept. 13.-The kilograms

passes most of his time in pursuit of this in

street below the palace windows
gets very demonstrative the officials
of the palace sing out: ''Here
Karl, go to the window and make your bow
and Karl does as he is told. So you see the
original Kaiser.'
THAT is all very nice and plausible, re-

as the knowledge of the Kaisers death three
years ago would have done?''

He doesn't do things by halves. He has

ST. Paul Herald.
The investigation of ex-Warden Reed.
of the Saltwater penitentiary, has re-
suited in showing the ex-official up in
an exceedingly disgusting light. IL
gives renewed strength to the rapidly
growing sentiment among the general
public against continuing one man in
Office for an indefinite number of years,
and the time is rapidly approaching
when the political barnacleS who have
been holding Office in this state almost
as far back as the present generation
can remember will be obliged to yield
up their cushioned chairs to men who
have not become calloused on the neither
end in the service of the dear public.
The people want little fresh blood.

THAT SALTWATER RACKET.

If One-half of what Warden SToRDocK
and ex-Warden REED say about each
other is true, it is certainly nice kettle
of fish that the state administration has
put over the fire. There is an old
proverb the tenor of which is that hon
est people are apt to get their dues when
rogueS fall out. In this instance the
penitentiary row SeemSsto be answering
the good purpose of exposing hidden
mass of corruption which, up to thistime,
had been skillfully concealed from pub
lie view. The revelations that are now
being made are revolving in the extreme,
and yet there is touch of humor to
them, when read in the light of the in
finite amount of mud-Slinging that was
done by the Republican leaders in the
last state campaign. When we recall
the air of holy horror assumed by the
Republican brethren whenever the
name of the Democratic candidate for
governor was mentioned, and then read
the developments made in the peniten-
tiary investigation. one is puzzled to
know how so much villany could be
hid behind smiling faces.
One of the features of the investiga-
ton of most interest to the public is the
revelation made by ex-W arden REED
concerning the secret deals made in the
last Republican state convention. He
alleges that SToRDoCK was shelved be-
cause the evidence of his having re-
cleved brides from railroad corporations
was i'll the possession of certain promi-
nent Democrats, and then AYERS that
Gov. MCGILL, with a full knowledge of
this fact, appointed this same man
SToRDoCK to the responsible position of
warden of the state prison. If these
things are true it is time for the public
to know them. EX-Warden REED has
now placed himself in the position of
being compelled to verify his statements
or to stand convicted in public estima-
ton of the charges preferred against
him by Warden SToRDoCK. His only
chance for a vindication is to establish
his charges against SToRDocK.
The GLOBE is no partisan in this mat
ter. 1t is only in the performance of a
duty to the public that it unfolds the
malOdorous state of affairs existing
under the present state administration.
The Saltwater prison is state institu-
ton, supported at public expense. The
people of Minnesota have right to
know everything connected with its
management, and, as they look to the
GLOBE as the only fair exponent of
public affairs, we would be false to duty
if we did not give the full details of the
investigation, as nasty as they are.

eminent which shelters him, he asks
to be admitted to citizenship. The
clerk of the court to whom he applied
very properly refused to issue him the
necessary papers, holding that he was
not made of the stuff desirable in good
citizens, and the common sense of the
people will uphold him.
1t was amazing effrontery in MosT to
ask for citizenship, and the forbearance
OF the clerk in not accompanying his re-
fusal with an energetic application of
the toe of his boot is to be commended.
Instead of granting MosT and his kind
